Microwave Semiconductor Engineering
AUTHOR: Joseph F. White
FORMAT: Hardcover, 576 pages
PUBLISHED: 1995
ISBN: 0-964745-0-2
This unique volume clearly analyzes the complex field of semiconductor microwave engineering. Constants, formulas, derivations, and practical applications using diode control circuits are covered in an easy-to-follow format. The book focuses on microwave diodes in switches, limiters, attenuators, phase shifters and delay networks. It covers device physics and operating principles as they relate to requirements in driving circuitry. Includes CAD techniques, FORTRAN routines, numerous design examples and appendices for basic constants and formulas, materials, transmission line structures and other key topics.
AUTHOR'S COMMENTS
I believe that the reader, engaged in any form of microwave and RF engineering but particularly when applied to semiconductors, will find that these chapters and appendices anticipate questions that inevitably are encountered, questions whose answers will not otherwise be so conveniently accessible outside the covers of this book. And as it occurs, may the reader find their discovery as enjoyable and satisfying as I did.
